Suffolk Community Libraries offer a rich and unique support system for early and mid-career writers, artists, and creatives, going far beyond providing a quiet place to work.<\/p>\n

Our artist development programme bridges the gap between amateur and professional. We support early and mid-career creatives, who have connections to Suffolk, through peer support, creative spaces, funding guidance, community partnerships, and exhibition space. Our programme focuses on the role of creativity in the community as a catalyst for activism, improving wellbeing, environmental awareness.<\/p>\n

If you have any queries about our Creative Communities programme, please contact us by using our proposal form below to collaborate with us.<\/p>\n
